Re: Non-Dead Happy Day of Ashura for all Forumites! |
Damn Right!!
Only one Big O!!! Two time NCAA champ- and the ONLY MAN to
AVERAGE a Triple Double for an entire NBA season.
And a old neighbor of mine in Wyoming,Oh. Yes I know its two states-ararararararahhhhhhh, but it is where I grew up.
One of the nicest people I ever met, he was on the Cincinnati Bearcats two 60's NCAA teams that had their annual reunion two doors down from my house. It was the highlight of the summer hanging out listen to those guys talk.

Yup, he's a class act for sure.
Thx for the addt'l input; always love talking bout him; read a book on bball greats (he was heavily featured) when I was a kid and my ol man really thought he and EBaylor were the two greatest, so I got a lot of it from him...old times, eh?

Re: Non-Dead Happy Day of Ashura for all Forumites! |
Wait a sec - aren't you a Bay Area native? And wasn't there a certain college kid that led USF to back to back national championships and then went to on to win more than twice as many rings in the NBA than MJ? Not to mention one of the coolest guys alive? Do I have to spell it out? Why isn't he in the discussion? Then again, my dad's basketball "rag" said Lew Alcindor was too weak to make in the pros....

He's up there: "...had more...than MJ"
But, to be honest, I always felt that the Celts at the time were just too good of an overall team. It was a real dynasty, so for me, individuals like West, O, Wilt would rank higher in my "top ten players" on shear talent.
